Acclaimed singer-songwriter Chuck Brodsky is set to bring his compelling blend of storytelling, folk, and Americana music to the Ugly Mug Coffeehouse in Soquel on Friday, January 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM presented by Snazzy Productions. The intimate performance will feature Brodsky’s signature style of weaving poignant narratives through rich melodies, captivating audiences with tales that range from heartfelt and humorous to thought-provoking and soul-stirring.
Brodsky, a seasoned troubadour known for his evocative lyrics and deep connection with his audience, has built a loyal following with songs that often tell stories of historical figures, personal experiences, and quirky observations. He has a fondness for composing songs about baseball. His sound has drawn comparisons to fellow folk icons such as John Prine and Greg Brown, yet Brodsky’s voice and songwriting are unmistakably his own.
"Chuck Brodsky is a rare talent, a master storyteller with a guitar and a voice that can move mountains," says Steve Volk, owner of the Ugly Mug. "His songs are more than music — they are reflections of our shared humanity."
The Ugly Mug, a cozy venue beloved by music lovers in the Santa Cruz area, provides the perfect setting for an evening of folk music and storytelling. With a capacity of around 50, the Ugly Mug offers an intimate atmosphere where concertgoers can experience Brodsky’s lyrics up close and personal.
